Japanese serow

edit

Japanese serow in Wakinosawa, Japan

  • ... that after approaching near-extinction in the 1950s, Japanese serow (pictured) populations had increased so much by the 1970s that foresters fought to have it culled as a pest?

5x expanded by Curly Turkey (talk). Self nominated at 06:00, 10 July 2013 (UTC).

  • Expanded 5x in a 5 day period, however, QPQ needed. --Երևանցի talk 19:51, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Now that QPQ has been provided, a full review of the nomination is needed, including sourcing, neutrality, checks for close paraphrasing, etc. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough, neutral, well-written and interesting. A spot check shows no close-paraphrasing issues. Hook is verified and interesting. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:28, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
